Premium MemberShe Waits for Him

She wanders where the salt-mist clings, 
A pale silhouette on the shore, 
While in her heart, a sorrow sings 
For him who sails the deep once more.
Her gown is woven from the spray, 
Her eyes are mirrors of the tide; 
She watches through the dying day
With nowhere left for grief to hide.
The waves deliver only foam,
The gulls cry out a lonely plea; 
She waits for him to turn for home, 
From out the dark and restless sea.
Though seasons shift and stars turn cold, 
And years dissolve in silver light, 
Her vigil remains as it was of old, 
A phantom flame against the night.


Premium MemberRadio Plays ' I'll Be Seeing You'

From streak and blur of candle faint 
Her whispered breath gasps through dim hall-- 
That longing haunts without restraint
When a presence twirls come midnight:

Gently, gently she advances
Yet tapered wax fades...bleak the loff
And she aches for snuffled chances; 
To meet him ...in world's afterlife

Premium MemberI Will Love Him Forever

I never want to give up on my twin soul lover.
I will always long to be with him forever.
I am not sure when we will truly be together.
I often wish someone can give me an answer.

I only know I love him as a significant other.
I am always left waiting, feeling so unsure.
I wish I stayed pure in all the ways that matter.
I only know we're learning how to love each other.

I am realizing now that I want to do better.
I want to prove to him I am worthier than her.
I love him no matter how his past makes me feel bitter.
I am learning how to free myself from my own tether.

I will wait for him, even for up to a decade later.
I see the rift between us that once made us differ.
I am smoothing things out like the rapids of a river.
I know someday our separation will be over.

Premium MemberHoping You'll Choose Me

Our names always rhymed,
Our reconnection well-timed.
Hoping you'll have me
As the one who sets you free,
The one you'll love divinely.

Premium MemberPine Tree

I wait by the tallest green pine tree.
I wait for him to set me free.


Premium MemberPent In A Penthouse

He tried
but for him
speech did not
come easily,

the parrot had a stutter

starting with a sputter -- 

tripped over

every third word

sounding quite absurd

the clipped-wing bird;

his flight, as well, 
a jump and a fell -- 
a monumental flop, 

every spring
followed by a plop...



and Boots, the penthouse cat
a bit of a louse
absent a mouse
terrorizes Carrot~ the penthouse
parrot -- 

poor Boots, dreams of woods
feline hunts and captures
kept from the wild
chooses poor Carrot
for his daily, stalking raptures --

Premium MemberHungry For Love

Hunger for his love.
Need to be freed from this lust.
Desire for him grows.
Oh he knows, deep down he knows,
She hungers for his desire.

Premium MemberForsaken Spiderwebs

Our home was lit with autumn's spicy scent.
Now spent are the forms that had something to hold:
votive molds, photo frames, vases.... forsaken.

The form within my breast, too, is forsaken,
no longer pressed against your Old Spice scent.
Once, we had each other to hold....

Now memories are the substance we hold.
Your sloughed skin dust is not yet forsaken;
a whiff remains of seasonal clove scent....

Forsaken spiderwebs hold your signature scent.

Premium MemberA Stinging Regret

She was 
Within striking distance 
Eagerly waiting,
With bells on, for him.
She could have been 
His million dollar baby.
Pity, he took too long 
To pounce.
Between a blink, 
Far out of sight was she.
He strained his eyes 
Longingly searching for her 
Across a desolate expanse 
Into nothingness.
She's walked into 
Another man's waiting arms.
Facing each sunset 
Lonesome,
He looks back 
With a stinging regret.

Premium MemberMirror Mirror On the Wall

she doesn't understand
and waits for him to speak his mind
she wants to know what's in his heart
she doesn't know where they both stand

this waiting game is not her strong suit
still she refuses to upset the cart
she stops to think of what could be
it somehow doesn't make it easier

she thinks of how without warning
she lost her freedom
that instant she let go of her heart
falling for a man who was there but not

now she looks at her reflection
wondering if her destiny
is to remain cold and alone
with love just out of reach

Premium MemberShall You My Love Walk Hand In Hand With Me You and I Jesus In the Light

While we're in the dark Come my love let's touch Touch the light then embrace The fondling of its presence spark Yon glittering the haze the premise Of the blaze a twinkle in the night Come my love let's walk together Let us embrace the light hand in hand Let it stand firmly together Let us reprimand and understand We should not quiver crumble in the night For the light is our Lord in Jesus As He's here walking beside us Come my love let's walk in the light My last let us walk together hand in hand with Jesus Christ

Premium MemberSensitive Man Where Is the Woman For Him-

A man with a tender heart How can you find love And well when will it start Softly spoken yet stern Alas its love he's so yearns And yes there is bass in his bones A mild kindly man he who represents and yet still can But for journal writings and strands word play and pain Seeds yet stands sensitive man With his heart in his hands Fully a true grown man and yet he still cries Affirmative clock so tics in his mind he asked This question when is his time for love Sensitive man where is the woman for him

Premium MemberUnanswered Questions

how she longs to escape
carefree pack a bag
leaving all behind

hop on a train and run 
straight into the arms
that hopefully long for her

as if she really dares
be transported by visions
of flambéed passion

not really knowing if
she too fills his daydreams
with lustful longings

does she haunt his nights
so he too fights desires that rattle
and deprive his sleep

does he secretly long to possess her
feverishly amorously
the way a lover should

she didn’t go looking for him
they somehow found each other
their lives meshing intertwining

her heart seeming ripe
for a train ride to adventure
and long distance romance

Premium MemberField of Blessings

Amidst the yellow flowers she stood
Wishing that he would arrive
She could feel his soul happy, so alive
All with the brush of breeze that could

Bring her everything she wished for
Laughter, smiles and hugs with love
They share with falling stars above
She hopes for him to feel once more

Through the shine of yellow petals, she walks
Carrying memories all of the way
Sending blessings to him on this day
As the field seems to listen as she talks

Premium MemberMy Tears

Colors of sorrow
Black, gray – faithless
Melancholy
Breaking through my
Deepest thoughts
Into my heart’s 
Haven of hope

Drifting in and out
Like the beating
Echoed through my veins
Bleeding, flowing in rich
Crimson drops 
Feelings rearranged 
Within me
Revealing the way
To breathe in 

Blankets
Of 
Dark angst
Fear and mourning
Regret that weeps
With grief for – not only
What has been in yesterday
But what is to come again
With the rising of the sun
And the longing within
By soul

A teardrop flows
Cheerlessly
Expressing the way
Toward despair
Where my feelings
Know only the aching
Pain that lives
To cut through my
Feelings for him
The one who did me in
With his selfishness
And greed for 
My tears
